A recent scientific study has suggested that the first stars in the universe formed in conditions very different from what researchers had long believed. Instead of forming in a cold and quiet ...

Learn how galactic archaeology uses chemical clues to uncover how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years.

A galaxy spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope, known as Hebe, that existed just 400 million years after the big bang ...

Found in an ultrafaint dwarf galaxy, the ancient star’s unusual chemistry indicates it formed from gas enriched by a single ...

A blazing supermassive black hole can influence far more than its own galaxy. Scientists found that quasars emit radiation strong enough to shut down star formation in nearby galaxies millions of ...

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...
